This lovely tune, a great love song, was composed and first sung by Garth Brooks, then by Ronan Keating. Hank Marvin played it beautifully as an instrumental in his album "Guitar Player".

This is a steel guitar version. Played on Steelocaster A6 tuning, key of Bb. The first part has the bridge pick-up selected and the second (softer) part has the bridge and middle pick-ups selected.

Lap steel, lead and rhythm guitars and sampler keyboard tracks played by me and overlaid on a commercially available BT.

I enjoyed that very much Kay, the two pickups selected actually sounded brighter than the bridge pickup alone.

James, Andy. Many thanks for the appreciation...

Here is Garth Brooks' original version with some tasteful pedal steel in the background

And here is Hank Marvin's version; this is my favourite.

Some of you may agree with me that this is one instance in which a Stratocaster and lap steel guitar (in this case my Steelocaster) find a bit of a confluence..

Enjoy!

Kay

PS: I found the video a bit cheesy so I turned the screen off...and listened to the audio only.
